Student Plain or Ordinary? As students went about their days, both in and out of school, many activities were taking place. Some days were just plain ol ' ordinary days consisting of study halls and classes . . . study halls and classes . . . and study halls and classes that seemed to drag on forever. Lunch time was a part of every day. Many agreed that not enough time was given then to talk with friends who were seated at their table. At lunch people often planned their weekends. When John Cougar Mellencamp and Madonna concerts were scheduled fo r the weekends in Cincinatti numerous stu- dents rushed to buy tickets. Going to Perfect North Slopes was also popular to do on weekends. The more daring even tried skiing; otherwise many were just there to associate with friends. Movies were popular attractions with Back to the Future, Rocky IV, and Rambo among the favorites. During the fall one of the major problems was finding transportation to the football games. There were many long distance drives due to the team ' s success in the play-offs.

Every day, ordinary or unusual, there were students walking the halls. Some were just using the space to get from point A to point B while others were using the time to talk with friends that they had no classes with. Many girls tried to find that certain guy, but could have almost died when they finally did see him. Likewise, most guys were checking out the girls. Students also discussed what the teachers gave for homework or classwork during the last class or asked what kind of mood they were in — good or bad! Ready to Roll. Spirited Trojan fans Laura Brunke, Mike Norman, Marc Schlemmer, Jennifer Brinson, and Kevin Conn are on iheir way to a regional victory of 18-17 against the Evansville Reitz Panthers. The long drive there cost many students a night ' s sleep as the bus did not arrive back at school until 5:30 AM the next morning. Cool Glasses— Hot Sticks.
